#36 | Democracy in Peril: Israelis Push Back on Threat of Autocracy with Raed Mualem & Shaul Gabbay

Dr. Raed Mualem, a Palestinian citizen of Israel, and Dr. Shaul Gabbay, a Jewish citizen of Israel and the US, have joined hundreds of thousands of other Israelis taking to the streets to protest the change every Saturday tryingt to stave off the far-right coalition government’s shocking move to solidify power by stripping the Supreme Court — Israel’s only check on power—of its ability to restrain government actions. Reservists are refusing to defend the country, and hundreds of billions of dollars in investments have already left the country as the outside world holds its breath waiting for the outcome—an outcome that could shift the geo-political balance in the Middle East and the world.
